Abstract

The authors have tested a new preparation of dihydroergotamine (microgranules in a capsule) by comparing the clinical results obtained in 30 patients suffering from morning migraine with the plasma levels of the active substance measured in 8 healthy subjects. The microgranules were administered in doses of 30 mg/24 hours and compared with a similar dose of a dihydroergotamine solution. The close correlation observed between sustained plasma levels and prolonged therapeutic effects indicates a truly programmed delivery of dihydroergotamine by the microgranule preparation.
